Frigol, Which Is Among The Four Largest Beef Processing Plants In Brazil, Has Ceased Production In The Municipality Of Cachoeira Alta, In The State Of Goiás
Frigol is the fourth largest beef processing plant in the country and recently announced it will cease production at the rented unit in Cachoeira Alta, in the state of Goiás, and will return the location where operations were carried out. According to the company, Frigol is undergoing a financial restructuring and is facing unfavorable market conditions. More than 400 employees will be laid off with the closure of the plant’s production.
Layoff Of 413 Employees At The Plant In Goiás
About 413 employees will be laid off with the closure of production at the plant. The location has already halted its activities since Frigol granted collective vacations in March. After the plant’s closure in Goiás, the department will be returned to the owner, and the existing employees will be dismissed.
The management of the plant stated it will provide all former employees with a 30-day service: recommendation letters, the possibility of a position in another department without going through the selection process, and support in finding new job opportunities in cities and regions.

Seeking Good Results In Production
The company stated in a report that other factors, such as the low attractiveness of investments, may cause its products to target the external market, pressuring the decision to cease production at the plant in the state of Goiás.
The company’s production will be concentrated in Lençóis Paulista, in the state of São Paulo, and in São Félix do Xingu and Água Azul do Norte, located in the state of Pará. Frigol mentioned it will strive to continue conducting business with the ranchers from the area that was closed in Goiás, especially by transferring the animals to the unit in the state of São Paulo.
In a statement, the plant says that these three units continuing to operate have various qualifications to export to different markets and will ensure the supply of products for both domestic and international markets. Frigol also states that all decisions made regarding the cessation of production at the unit in Goiás aim to achieve better production efficiency and obtain better results.
